Hello; Your symptoms may be considered to be balanitis, and it is recommended to take metronidazole orally, apply fluconazole ointment externally, and simultaneously use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. It is recommended to frequently clean the foreskin and glans to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. If there is phimosis or paraphimosis, circumcision should be performed. In daily life, maintain a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. The condition of balanitis itching is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is necessary to seek medical treatment immediately at a professional and regular hospital, and treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination.
